Ravens' top-5 most important players for 2017

2. Right guard Marshal Yanda

With the Ravens possibly keeping offensive lineman Alex Lewis at left guard, there is a real possibility Yanda could have two rookies starting on his left and right at the line of scrimmage in Week 1 this season.

Yanda will not only have the task of being the All-Pro guard he already is, he will also likely have to groom two rookies into the starters the Ravens need them to be. As well as helping both right tackle and center perform better.

Yanda’s leadership will be critical for the success of the offensive line going forward. And when you include left tackle Ronnie Stanley and Lewis, Baltimore could have four offensive linemen with two seasons of NFL experience or less. Yanda will be the on-field teacher.
